    I don't think it is a case of what is the BEST grout, it is a case of what grouts suit you.. loads of good makes but not all tilers choose the same ones.. so find one you like and stick with it..

    I use BAL grouts, I like mapei but my nearest supplier is 30 miles away so don't get to use them often.

    Mapei Ultracolour Plus for me, but it needs to be mixed twice. Once you get used to using it I really don't think it can be beaten.

    Just my opinion though
